No, nothing I know of .. Inode size and sector size seem different between those XFSs that return unknown-type dir-entries and those that do not.. Probably more relevant: both of the former ones are V4 (which I see is now deprecated) and the ones not causing the issue are V5.. But mlocate's updatedb sees the same unknown type for dir entries and still continues to recurse... Best Regards [ THX for the fix! ]
